Ole Miss fires employee over social media post on fatal Charlie Kirk shooting
by Candice Wilder September 11, 2025
University of Mississippi announced it has terminated an employee due to “hurtful, insensitive comments” made on social media regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA and political far-right activist.
University Chancellor Glenn Boyce released an official statement on the university’s social media pages Thursday stating that an unnamed employee was terminated after Kirk was fatally shot Wednesday while speaking on the Utah Valley University campus.
“The comments run completely counter to our institutional values of civility, fairness and respecting the dignity of each person,” the statement said. “We condemn these actions and this staff member is no longer employed by the university.”
. . . White’s post also shows the alleged reshared post that reads, ““For decades, yt [white] supremacist and reimagined Klan members like Kirk have wreaked havoc on our communities, condemning children and the populace at large to mass death for the sake of keeping their automatic guns.”
